hey guys. i was sitting in the garage the other day working on my quads, and i noticed that my rear suspension on my 04 warrior is not sitting flat on the ground. it seems that the front is one the ground more than the rear. is there anyway to adjust this? i heard that i should adjust the limiter straps, but i thought i should ask here first. thanks for the help.

Yeah, if you pull your limiter straps up, it will pull the front of the skid up and put more pressure on your skis.

how do you adjust the limiter strap?

There are two nuts on the threaded tod the strap is attached to. If you want to pull them up, loosen the bottom nut (the one closer to the strap) and then start 'tightening' the top nut. This will pull the strap 'up' or 'tigheter', pulling the front of the skid up. Just make sure that you pull both sides up equally!!! If I remember right, I think I have mine set to where there is about 7/8" of thread exposed past the top nut.

Have mine about the same 1 inch showing, but everyone will play with it till you like the ride. Just play with the settings.

As you tighten the straps, you will increase ski pressure. So, ... keep an eye on this as you make small adjustments and try out the sled each time you make an adjustment.
But, ... Before making any adjustments, ...
Was the sled wheelieing every time you took off hard? If not, I would take a real close look at the entire suspension before I started messing with the straps. Maybe the floor was not level.
Where are the Control Rods set? If they are set too short, the rear of the skid could be up, depending on other suspension settings, etc. But the symptom here is the sled wheelies on acceleration.
How much tension do you have on the ski springs? If they were too loose, you could be nose diving and the rear of the skid would be elevated. There is a spec setting to the Ski Springs.
How much pre-load tension do you have on the center shock? Too much pressure there and the sled can teeter-totter on the front of the Skid and the rear will be up.
There are a lot of things to check and think about before you just go cranking more on the straps.
